'I'm Not Looking For a New Man... But I Still Believe In Love,' Insists Kim Kardashian

She's firmly moving on after her October split from husband Kris Humphries, but that doesn't mean Kim Kardashian is ready to start dating again.
The newly single reality star revealed that she isn't back on the market just yet.
'I'm not looking,' she told Us Weekly last night at the opening of her Kardashian Kaos boutique at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Although the 31-year-old beauty now has two failed marriages under her belt - the first was to music producer Damon Thomas - she is still hopeful that one day she'll find Mr. Right.

'I believe in love... always,' she noted.
While things didn't work out in her most recent relationship, she still wouldn't trade the life lessons she's learned from it for anything.
'I'm really thinking that 2011 was a lot of learning lessons. 2012, I'm just excited for the New Year and the new me,' she said.
Kim became engaged to her NBA player ex in May and they married in a lavish ceremony in August, only to divorce 72 days later.
Kris, 26, is also all about moving forward and, like Kim, focusing on work next year.
He sat down with Good Morning America last week to discuss how he's getting on with his life.
'For me it's just, certain things happen in life and you gotta move forward,' the basketball player said. 'I'm excited to be where I'm at right now with the NBA season coming up and I'm ready to go.'
He added: 'Through everything I'm just focused on family and preparing for basketball. Basketball has always been something I've taken really seriously and I continue to do that and I'm just moving forward.'
Kim and her family were mobbed by excited fans as they posed for photographers at The Mirage Hotel.

Pushing against a crowd barrier, the audience shouted, cheered and took pictures of the reality stars, with some asking the sisters to autograph their latest book, Kardashian Konfidential.
Known for pulling out all the stops when it comes to glamour, the sisters didn't disappoint in their choice of outfits.
Pregnant Khloe, 32, chose a loose black mini dress with sheer sleeves while her younger sister Kourtney wore a clinging black and sequinned number, complete with ornate black heels.
But family matriarch Kris Jenner managed to out-glam all her eldest daughters in a long sleeved sequinned number.

However, only Kim failed to change out of the clinging leopardskin outfit she had worn earlier that day, when the family flew in by private jet from their Los Angeles home.
She teamed the outfit with the same towering wedge heels and wide leather belt.
And after filing for divorce from husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage, her wedding ring was also conspicuously absent from her hand.
She seemed happy and relaxed, despite making her first official public appearance since the split.

At one point, they even posed alongside photographs of themselves which are posted outside the store.
